Chapter 172: Brain power is always better than brute force
"Let's get back to business and talk about the professional issues of pharmacy."
"I think you just raised the question of 'Combat Potions can't defeat high-level martial artists', mainly because you just said that you can't hit targets that move too fast, right?" Tong Xi asked rhetorically.
"Hmm." Ellie nodded her head to indicate that it was.
"Actually, it's not just combat apothecaries who have to face the problem of 'how to hit the target', it's also a problem that mages and even warriors can't avoid. The opponent moves too fast to hit, and this is also a problem that all combatants must face. ”
"Generally speaking, a combat apothecary can be divided into two cultivation items in terms of attack." Tong Xi stretched out two fingers and shook them.
"They are the means to increase the power of the potion and the means to increase the attack, and the means of increasing the attack are actually to ensure the hit rate." Tong Xi said and opened the "experimental notebook" again.
"The ten experimental items recorded in your notebook are all research on 'increasing the power of potions', since you feel that the hit rate is too poor to even hit the target, you should find a way to increase the hit rate."
"And the 'grenade launcher' I gave you is actually a means to increase the hit rate, there are many ways to increase the hit rate of the Apothecary, using the 'grenade launcher' to increase the throwing speed is one of the methods, but there is definitely more than this."
"I remember you said that one of the reasons you can't hit a high-ranking martial artist is because your eyes can't react, right?" Tong Xi looked at Ai Li who was sitting in front of her, and when she saw the other party, she immediately nodded in confirmation before continuing.
"I remember you also have a junior pharmacist certificate, can you refine a third-level pharmacist?" Tong Xi asked.
"Tertiary Elixir...... Although the success rate is not high, it can always be refined by frying the pan a few times......" Ellie said, scratching her cheek with her right index finger with an embarrassed expression.
In fact, at Ellie's age, being able to successfully refine a third-level potion is already very powerful, and most junior pharmacists in their twenties can only refine a first-level recovery potion.
However, in the eyes of others, Ai Li, who was already a genius, was already able to refine third-level potions at the age of only about eighteen, and at this time, sitting in front of Tong Xi, she unconsciously "old face" was hot.
It's not that she's stupid...... Is the other party too wicked...... It's not her who is wrong, it's the world......
Elle looked at herself, a young master who seemed to be only five or six years old, and such a sentence always came to her heart.
"You can refine a third-level potion by frying the pot a few times, which is already very good." Tong Xi smiled.
"Here we go again, little master, don't laugh at me......" Ellie muttered.
"Okay, let's not talk about that."
"What I'm trying to say is that since you can refine a third-level elixir, then you should know the 'Eagle Eye Elixir' among the third-level elixirs, right?" Tong Xi asked.
"Eagle Eye Elixir? It's not ......," Elle paused in the middle of her sentence.
Eagle Eye Flask, a potion that allows the user to improve their eyesight within a minute, is usually used by archers or scouts when scouting.
As I said before, in this world, in addition to the mainstream close-quarters martial artists, even "assassin" type warriors like Andrea are very rare, as for archers, it is even rarer, ordinary archers are just low-level martial artists who lack long-range lethality, and high-level martial artists have a long range and high attack with a bow and arrow, and no one will specialize in practicing archery.
And the famous elven archers, that's because the elves are all natural magicians, and the archery skills used can't be regarded as martial arts anymore, which is a skill similar to magic that belongs to the elves.
In other words, there are no high-level martial artists on the mainland who specialize in bows and arrows, and low-level martial artists who use bows and arrows can't afford to buy "expensive" third-level medicines. For low-level martial artists, it is not as practical as buying a few more recovery potions.
The high-level martial artists who can afford it can't use it, and the low-level martial artists can't afford it, and over time, this kind of third-level medicine has also become a "chicken rib" elixir, and the sales volume has dropped greatly, and of course the pharmacists will no longer refine this kind of "unsellable" potion.
When Elle heard the Eagle Eye Elixir just now, her first reaction was of course to think of its chicken ribs, this was just a kind of habitual thinking on her part, but immediately Elle reacted to Tong Xi's meaning.
Tong Xi saw Ai Li's expression, obviously the other party had understood what he meant.
"Doesn't that solve what you call the 'eyes can't keep up' problem? Actually, there has always been a way, but you haven't thought about it enough. ”
"If you are not physically strong and have no magical talents, but you want to win over others, you have to think more than others. The core of alchemy's combat is wisdom, and since you have chosen potions, then you must absolutely believe in the first creed of potions. ”
"Brain power is always better than brute force." Tong Xi smiled.
"The Eagle Eye Elixir does solve the problem of eyes not being able to keep up with each other's movements, but eyesight alone is not enough, right? After all, the body's reaction simply can't keep up. Elle reacted immediately and asked again.
"In this regard, I actually think you can borrow from the mage's attack methods."
"You see, the effect of the attack potion used in combat potions is actually not much different from magic, and the flames, explosions, wind blades, etc., that magicians can cast, can also be done by attacking potions. Since the skills are all about the same, why don't you think about what the magicians will do when they encounter you? Tong Xi chuckled and induced.
……
At this time, the other party.
In a room in the imperial capital of the Austin Empire and the Austin Palace.
In the dark room, the fourth prince, Yarlin, leaned on the window edge and looked up at the moon in the sky that had just been covered by black clouds.
A faint ray of moonlight shone through the black clouds on the windowsill, and the corners of Yarlin's mouth were faintly curled.
"You mean, Bowen and Xiaoxi are separated? The people in Potter Town only saw Xiaoxi and the girl named Andrea? Yarlin still looked out the window at the night sky, as if talking to herself.
"Yes." In the dark room, he suddenly remembered a crisp and powerful response, and if he looked closely, he seemed to be able to vaguely see a dark figure in the room, and at this time he was kneeling down on one knee towards Arrin who was leaning on the windowsill.
"I can't find anyone, so I can't do it?" Arrin chuckled, as if talking to herself.
"It's a dilemma, it's also an opportunity, after all, if Xiaoxi is not there, the guards invited by Prince Riel will definitely not be there."
"All we can do now is find it, isn't it?" Yarlin chuckled.
"Yes!" The shadow replied again.
"But...... We can't be the only ones who are busy, I have to let my dear second brother and fifth brother also make some efforts, after all, brothers should work together......"
Yarlin stretched out his palm to block the bright moon that appeared again after the dark clouds drifted in the night sky, and his smiling eyes stared directly at the bright moon.
"The moon is so beautiful today, I really don't want to go out......
